Developer Owlcat Games continues to introduce players to the grimdark world of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. This time the attention is given to the Drukhari, the darkest branch of ancient race of Aeldari. Their ancestors ruled the stars long before Mankind first ventured outward from Terra, and over long millennia the ennui of their vast lifespans led them to ever greater acts of depravity and violence.
According to the developers, now the Drukhari launch their raids on the worlds of realspace, seeking slaughter to sustain their withered souls and and to gather up terrified victims to take back to their morbid torture chambers. To the sadistic Drukhari, the sweet fruit of horror is as pleasing as the caress of a razored blade across soft flesh. They relish breaking the bodies of their captives.
Still, they prize even more highly the process of crushing their victims’ spirits, for nothing is more gratifying to the denizens of the Dark City than securing utter dominion over those who have resisted them. They drink in every nuance of woe until their captives gibber and plead for death – mercy the Drukhari are famously slow to grant.
“The Drukhari see the other inhabitants of the Galaxy as little more than cattle, livestock that can be brought to bay or slaughtered at any time. Their fodder, however, is not meat and muscle, but the anguish and despair of the weak.” — Inquisitor Lord Czevak
